Whether circulating information on flash drives as a substitute for the internet or building homemade antennas to listen to Miami's hip hop radio stations, Cubans improvise alternative strategies and workarounds to contend with ongoing isolation. Throughout these essays, Fernandes examines the emergence of dynamic youth cultures and social movements as Cuba grappled with economic collapse, new digital technologies, the normalization of diplomatic ties with the United States during the Obama administration, and the regression of US-Cuban relations in the Trump era. From reflections on feminism, new Cuban cinema, and public art to urban slums, the Afro-Cuban movement, and rumba and hip hop, Fernandes reveals Cuba to be a world of vibrant cultures grounded in an ethos of invention and everyday hustle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSujatha Fernandes is Professor of Political Economy and Sociology at the University of Sydney and author of \u003ci\u003eCuba Represent!: Cuban Arts, State Power, and the Making of New Revolutionary Cultures\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWho Can Stop the Drums?: Urban Social Movements in Chávez's Venezuela\u003c\/i\u003e both also published by Duke University Press, and most recently of \u003ci\u003eCurated Stories: The Uses and Misuses of Storytelling\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 184\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 09, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52628881015091,"sku":"9781478009641","price":40.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/TUpVdHlQNU51bDc3d1NiUDc1UkltUT09.webp?v=1762117129","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-cuban-hustle-culture-politics-everyday-life-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
